Henry Cavill might have suffered an unfair setback in DC, but his rebuttal through independent acting gigs and time-to-time revival in MCU have served as balm to soothe disappointment in fans. While his latest World War flick still stays atop in several countries, the latest Deadpool & Wolverine cameo has made the fandom go wild. Nonetheless, the star has decided to keep rest aside and take up another project envisioned to become a big hit. 

With his pregnant girlfriend, Natalie Viscuso, by his side, Henry Cavill is gearing up for his next big venture, a new project with Tom Cruise, as he balances his personal and professional life.

As the summer 2025 shoot approaches, fans can expect more updates on this thrilling project, which seems promising enough to deliver high-octane action and gripping drama. Produced by Warner Bros, BROADSWORD tells the gripping story of an S.O.E. operation during WWII. A marine captain crash-lands in France, becoming the sole survivor. With unrelenting determination, he must overcome treacherous circumstances to complete his mission for mankind.

Amidst the war-torn chaos, he would have to pass through numerous tests of his courage and resilience in the face of overwhelming adversity. If the scoops turn out to be true this would be Henry Cavill's third world war movie following The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare and Immortals. Until then, all of it must be taken with a pinch of salt as there have been no official announcements so far.
